Keturfch herself acknowledged in the
depths] of her louoly, disquieted heart
?but what could sho do? Since the
co'nquerer came sho had no resource
against time except knitting and mis
sionary work, and even hor charity
loving heart could not ilnd the shadow
of an excuse for making poor-calls this
morning. Meadowvillo was a small
place,, and since the Ladies' Mission
ary Society and tho Children's Mission
Hand had boon organized, the two or
three poor families had found it a sin
?A??uvto keop their poverty before the
"""on tho most liberal of tho

i middle June,
-i honoysuckloH and
?iiugled with those of ripen
..wherries and pungent garden
.ei-h-i. Pollen-dusted bees and indes
cent butterllies Hit ted about in the sun
shine, and among the tendrils of the
grapevine above hor head was the half
concealed nest of a yellow warbler.
Nothing was nfraid of Keturnh. Even
now one of tho warblers was twitter
ing a contemplative interlude not three
feet away from her clicking needles.
But Keturnh was in a disturbed
frame of mind this morning, and was
?ot even conscious of her tiny friend's
'CBence. She could hear the Con
'.eror bustling about in the kitchen?
r kitchen, now" ? rattling dishes,
eniug and shutting oven doors,
aistling ?yes, actually whistling?to
?ho canary bird and now and then in
dulging in a snatch of high-pitched
breozy song. It durah listened with
mingled emotions. The Conqueror
was a splendid housokecper; she was
glad to admit that, both tor her
brother's and her conscience's aakos;
but she was so energetic and so strong
minded and' so capable. She did all
her house work, and looked after the
poultry and flower garden; she was
president of tho Missionary Society and
found plenty of time to visit and re
ceive calls. Keturah admired her
vastly, and oven liked her in a rebuffed
. sort of way; but, somehow even from
her vantage ground of msidc spectator,
she could never quite understand bow
one woman could accomplish so much.
Every morning her conscience made
her offer to help with tho work, and
every morning the Conqueror looked
at her with a calmly superior air and
said that slow help was a bother.
And that is why Keturah's mornings
were spent in the grapevine arbor, or
out making poor calls. She wanted to
like tho Conquorer, and tried to with
all the strength of her tender, shrink
ing heart. Was she not her brother's
wife, and was she not tho best
houBekeepor and most capable man
ager in all Meadowvillc?
And thoro was another thing. For
three and twenty years Keturah had
been the undisputed mistress of the es
tablishment, doing the work in her
quiet, prim, lady-like way, and never
dreaming that the years would bring
other changes than what rightfully be
longed to thorn. She had been house
keeper for her father until he died, and
then for her brother; and although she
had once thought?and hoped?that
her brother might marry, such a possi
bility had gradually been lost sight of.
He had just passed his fortieth birth
day, and she her forty-third, when the
Conquorer came.
Keturah was not combntivo, and she
honestly tried to take the now order of
things according to the light her con
science indicated; but her resolutions
were not as strong as the nature hand
ed down by half-a-dozen generations
of cultured ancestors. At the cud of a
month she had gone to her brother and
asked for hcrsharc of the properly, so
that sho might go off and live by herself.
At first ho had been incredulous, then
sarcastic. Their father had expressed
a hope that the property need not be
divided, ho had told her; and, besides,
he could not let her have her share
without soiling the homestead, and he
would not do that. And, furthermore
ho had advanced the unnecessary
argument that sho was too old to live
by herself. She had winced a little at
this thrust. It sounded so liko the
bristling assertions of the Conqueror
that she turned awny, hurt and silenced.
But it was true, she told herself, re
morselessly; she was getting to he
quite an old woman. And she went
o tho glass to overwhelm her world!
tess with a proof of the fact. But
omehow the glass did not curry out
he fact. Her skin was still soft, and
her cheeks had the same delicate Hush
that made her a belle in her fur-off
days of her girlhood; and there was
not a single gray intruder among all
the glossy brown hiur that was coiled
and massed upon her head.
A quick stop on the gravel walk
brought her eyes from the needle and
her thoughts from the future.
"Oh, here you are, Miss Kelurah.
I've looked for you everywhere," and
' Florence, tho Conqueror's sister, bus
tled into the arbor and plumped hort>o'f
down on Iho seat beside Kelurah. Flor
ence was eight eon j very vivacious,
very dumpy and vory much in lovo
. with herself; and added to this, sho
was the pride and admiration of the
' Conqueror's heart.
" Oh, Mise Koturah, have you heard
, the news?" she cried, as soon as she
could get broath. " The Rev. Charles
I Barden, missionary to Japan, is com
> ing to Meadowville and is going to
I lecture to the Missionary Society next
weok, and is coming horo to stay.
/What do you think of that? Going to
stay here with us a whole weok."
Kelurah rose quickly and then sat
. .down nad began to ply her nocdles
with desporate energy. She did not
even notice that sho was knitting hack
?'"over tho same needle.
" What do yon mean, child?" she
gasped in a voice that she intended to
be calm. " How do you know?"
:; Why, what a woman you are,"
laughed the girl. '? One can't even
mention missionary work, but you go
off into tho fidgets. Catch mo ever gel
ling so struck on charity as that. But
y It's true. Vour hi other was it tho sta
chen he got oir the train this
EHHKing, and ho invited him horo. 1
in your brother's etoro and saw
bin?, and he's just sploodiri/' enthjuftg ?
asi'.cally, iiiut high and more, and
carries himself liko a regular soldier.
Your brother toitf mo to hurry back
and let you all know he was coming.*'
She was silent for a few moments,
i l? n hu rsl out with: " I'm going toset
my <-ap for him. I'm just siok and
tired of this poky placo, aud 1 always
did want to go to .Japan aud China,
and those foreign countries."
" Child, Child 1" remonstrated Ketu
rah, "ho'n more than twice your age."
?? Only forty-Iive?" 8a'*' l'lu ^,r* i)er*
versely: 41 I hoard him toll your
brother so. That id just tho right age
in a man."
" Maybe bo's married, child."
'?< No, he ain't, for your brother asked
him. He koeps house aud has a
Chinaman to cook and do his work.
My sistor say? I must look vharp, for
ho'e the best catch there over was in
this town, lie's awful rich, oveu if ho
is a missionary." 'She was silout again
for some momonlH, tapping her foot
complacently against the rustic work
of tho arbor. Thou she looked at
KetUiah with sudden iutorost.
" He said he used to live hero when
he was a young man. Did you know
him, Miss Keturah? You must bo old
enough to lemcinbor most every
thing.' "
" Ho went to school with brother
and me," ?aid Kotuiah quietly. u He
used to live in thai house across the
street. I bcliove he was considered a
1 very nice young man thcu."
" 1 should think so," scornfully.
" At any rato he's the llnost man I
ovor btlW. Hut there they come uow."
Ami she hurried away as two men
turned in tho gate and came leisurely
up the gravel walk toward the house.
" Keturah?" and she roso calmly
and gave him her hand.
" 1 am glad to seo you, Charles,"
she said; "it's been a long time since
you wore hero."
"Yes, u long tune-" Then
Florence bustled into tho arbor and
bore him off to look at tho llowor gar
den.
The next few days Keturah saw
very little of him. Florence had him
in charge most of tho time, making
poor-calls, wandering about tho Holds,
or on the piazza chatting of the delights
of travel and missionary work. Hut on
the Ii I th day Florence was obliged to
go to her dressmaker's, and whiie she
was irono the Ro.v. Charles Hardeu
I found his way across the lawn to tho
' grapevine arbor where Keturah sat
knitting. She greeted him quiotly,
and made room for him on the seat
hcsi-lc her.
" I huvent seon as much of you as I
hoped," lie began gravely, as he sat
down.
** There's been considerable going
? on," she Bald.
" Yes; I have been trying to get a
chance to speak with you alone, but
lliis is my first opportunity. Do you
remember our last conversation?be
fore I left?"
She did not answer, but her needles
began to click more rapidly,
" It was in this very arbor, you re
member, twenty-live years ago. 1
asked you to go away with me, and
you said that your father was growing
old and needed you, and that it would
not be right to leave him. Keturah,
will you go back with me now? Your
I father is dead and your brother Is pro
vided for. No ono needs you here."
The knitting fell to the ground uu
heeded, and u warm, rich color stole
into her face.
" Hut I am getting to he an old wo
man now, and you arc in thu prime of
life."
" Ah, indeed?" quizzingly. 14 I am
forty-live and you are forty-three; just
the same difference between us as
there was twenty-live years ago. Will
you go back witb me?"
Hut still her conscience made her
demur.
" Would not a younger woman do
you nunc good, Charles?"
" 1 want you, Keturah," the
grave voice growing earnest and tender.
*4 I wanted you twenty-live years ago.
I want you now. I shall want you al
ways. Will you go back with me?"
" Yes."
At the dinner table that evening the
Uev. Charles Harden looked across
at his host.
*? I believe I haven't told you, John,
that Keturah is going back with me,"
he said composedly.
" No? You don't mean it?" and John
Allen looked from one to llie othor in
incredulous Amazement. Thou ho
rose hastily and shook each of thcin
by the hand. "I don't suppose it will
be any use to object," he said, jocosely,
"Keturah is of age and knows her own
mind." ?
And from her side of the table Flor
ence looked across at Keturah, and
made a grimace, and then went on
calmly with her meal.

KD IN COMPLETE,
The iHlntnl of St. Vincent May
Sink Into the Sen.
A correspondent of the Associated
PreBS has runde a visit on horseback to
the dovastatcd district of the island of
St. Vincent, duriug which he tiavclod
lifty nvilcs aud penetrated to within
tive miles of Soufriore crater, and writes
as follows of the Situation :
The ash-covereil area of St. Vincent
exceeds that of Martinique which the
correspondent has al-n explored. Tho
most conservative esliinnto of the death
rate he now places at 1,700. About
lj.'lOO bodies have already beou in
terred.
Tho entire northern part of tho is
land is covered with ashes to au aver
age depth of 18 inches, varying from
a thin layer at Kingstown to two feet
or more at Georgetown. The crops
are ruined, nothing green can ho scon,
the streots of Georgetown aro cumber
ed drifts, aud ashes rest so heavily on
the roofs that in several cases they
have caused them to fall in.
There will soon bo 5,000 dostiluto
porbons m noed of assistance from tho
government winch is already doing
everything possible to relieve tho suf
ferers. There aro a hundred injured
people in the hospital at Georgetown.
Gangs of men aro searching for the
dead or rapidly burying them in
trenches, and all that cau bo done
under tho circuiustancos is being ac
complished.
While tho outbreak of tho volcano
on the island of Martinique killed more
people outright, more territory has
beeu ruined in St. Vincout, and honce
there is greater destitution. Tho in
jured people were horribly burned by
the hot grit which was driven along
with tremendous velocity. Twonty
six persons who sought refugo in a
room ten feet by twelve were all killed.
O.ie person was brained with a huge
stone nine milos from the crater.
Hough coflins are being made to re
ceive the remains (at the victims. The
hospital is tilled with dying people.
Fifty injured persons are lyiug on tho
iloor of that building, as tburo aro no
beds for their accom nodation, though
cots are being rapidly constructed of
boards. This and similar work has
boon in progress since, immediately
after the oisaster. Two da)a elapsed,
however, beforo there wero any burials,
as the negroes refused to dig the neces
sary trenches, though they were of
fered three times tho usual wages by
the local authorities. The nurses em
ployed are incompetent, but they aro
willing to learn and are workiug hard.
The negroes are indilTerent to all that
is transpiring and to what has taken
place. They expect to receive govern
ment rations, but there have boon in
stances where they have refused to
bury their own relatives.
ft is estimated that the sea line en
croached from ton fuet to two miles
along the coast near Georgetown, aud
that a section on the north of tho is
land has dropped into the sea. This
is apparently curtilicd by the report of
tho Fi ouch cableship l'ouyer-Quartier,
that soundings now show seven fathoms
where before tho outbreak there was
.'hi fathoms of water.
Lieutenant Benjamin McCormick,
commanding the United States stoamer
Potomac, now in these waters, has
called on Governor Llewellyn and of
fered him the sympathy of the United
States and any assistance which it was
iu Ins power to render. The Potomac
tins also landed whnt she ? an spare of
her food stuffs. Tho government ex
pressed thanks and added that there
was no immediate need of help. The
Potomac carried oillcial dispatches to
the island of St. Lucia.
The inhabitants (meaning tho white
population as a rule) naturally are an
xious to know whether the repose of
tho volcano is permanent or whether
it is tho lull, which usually precedes
a greater paroxysmal activity. Some
people, anticipating that theru isdangor
of further volcanic eruptions, arc loav
ing the outlying towns for Kingston.
Tho negroes wbo have remained ou
the estates are half-staived, and the
Carib survivors are leaving the caves
and pillaging abandoned dwelling
houses and shops. A number of ar
rests have been made in this connec
tion. Much importance is attached
locally to the loss which tho colony has
sustained in the injury to the peasant
property, a scheme for the develop
ment of which was lately inaugurated
by the imp rial government.
Advices received from Fort do
France say that looting and robbery
are on Uie increase at St. Pierre and
elsewhere. Local political quarrels at
St. Pierre are interfering with practi
cal harmonious action. There aiu
(1,000 refugees at Fort de France and
rioting is feared thore. Business at
St. Pierre has been stopped and money
is scarce.
As the colonial hospital was found
inadequate to accommodate the suf
ferers, large army tents have heen
erected for the use of the patients who
are being constantly brought fr^m
other towns on tho bland, but tVeU
these annox hospitals are ovci crowd
ed. The lecal doctors have boon roin
forced by a doctor who arrived here
from the island of Gronada, ono of the
British windward islands. He brought
with him a number of packages ot
medical supplies. The death rate
among tho people in the hospitals is
still very high. On all sides are heard
gra'oful appreciation .of the prompt aid
furnished by the United Stites, in
sending the Potoraao with' provisions
end other things for the destitute peo
ple of St. Vincent.
? The report that the volcanic lake
Which occupied the top of the moun
tain ha? disappeared, appeals to bo
confirmed. A sea of lava, imltting
sulphurous fuEOftn, now apparently oc
cupin* It* placo and several new cralora
have Uoen formed. The lust lime the
volcanu showed activity, tho craters,
old aud now, aud numerous Assures iu
the mountain sidis, discharged hot
vapor, deep eubterraneau raurmurings
wore heaid, tho ground trembled at
times from the center of the volcano,
e volumes of steam arose towards
the Bky and a dense, cimarron smoke,
mingled with the steam, issued from
the new and active crater, foimiug an
immense pall over the northern hills,
lowering iuto the valleys and then
rising aud spreadiug uutil it enveloped
the whole island in a peculiar, gray
mist. Simultaneous actiou upon the
part of the volcanoes of Martinique
and Domiucia and elsewhere seems to
denote a volcanic convulsion betweon
these Isluuds and appears to verify tho
assumption of tho volcauic origin of
tho mouuluin chaius runniug parallel
with tho Soufriore in tho Windward dis
trict.
It is excessively hot bore, aud the
northern hills reluin their foggy ap
pearance. Ttio sulphuric vapors, which
still exhale all over the island, aro in
creasing the sickuees aud mortality
among the surviving inhabitants and
aro causing suffering umong the now
arrivals. Tho hospital staff are giving
way to overwork and uro with dilliculty
bearing up.
Tho stench in the atllictcd districts
is terriblo beyond description. Nearly
all tho huts loft standing aro tilled
with dead bodies. In some cases dis
infectants, und the usual moaus of dis
posing of tho dead aro usoloss and
cremation baa been resorted to. When
it is possible, the bodies aro dragged
with ropes to tho trenches and are
there hastily covered up, quick lime
being used when available.. Many of
tho dead bodies were so covoied with
dusl that they wore not discovered
uutil talked on by visitors or by tho
relioviug oilicers or their assist nits.
Tho scones witnessed were unprece
dented iu tho history of this colouy.
A. C. JEPSON FOR
RAILROAD COM M ISSION H R
A Well Known ami Popular
Citizen of Florence iti the
Race.
Florence Timea, May 12th.
A. C. JepBon, ono of the best known
votcrans of tho Atlantic Coast lane,
announces positively that he will bo in
tho race for i ail road commissioner.
Ho has talked with his friends in
Florence and elsowhere, and has re
ceived tho greatest encouragement.
Mr. Jepson has been forty years a
practical railroad man, and as years
creep up on hhu he wants to retire
from Urn throttle ami givo the younger
men a chance to run tho trams while
he runs tho railroads a little. The life
of an eugineer is a hard and exacting
one, nud takes him nway from homo
too much of tho time.'
Mr. .lepson came to Florence In 18S4
and has been with the Coast Line con
tinuously evor since, and is one of the
best men on the line. Ho has Bcrved
many roads in bis time,?the Louis
ville and Nashville, Central of Geor
gia, and Mobile and Guard among
them. Ho says that in his forty years
"It's a bad time
to swap horses when
you are crossing a
stream."
That was Lincoln's famous reply to
those who urged him to make a change
In generals at a critical period of the
Civil war.
Lincoln's saying is worth remember
ing, especially when you are asked to
"swap" Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery for a bootless bargain, de
scribed as "just as good," at the critical
time when health is at stake.
Dr. Pierce'9 Golden Medical Discov
ery is a medicine which has a record of
ninety-eight per cent, of cures. It is an
absolutely reliable family medicine, non
alcoholic and non-narcotic. It always
helps: it almost always cures. Why
should any one who is seeking a cure
for sickness, and in persuaded that the
"Discovery" will cure him, "swap" the
substance for the shadow at the risk of
health ? ,
Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Discov
ery cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
What is popularly termed "weak " stom
ach is the common cause of various forui9
?f physical weakness,?such as "weak"
heart, "weak" lungs, "weak" or slug
gish liver, "weak" nerves, etc. The
entire Ixxly and its several organs are
dependent for strength upon the food
prepared in the stomach. The "weak"
stomach cannot provide the food
strength for the various organs, which
in their turn become " weak "and unable
to accomplish the work for which they
were designed. "Golden Medical Dis
covery " cures through the stomach dis
eases which have their cause in a dis
eased condition of the stomach and he
allied organs of digestion and nutrition.
It enable-, the perfect digestion and
assimulation of food by which the body
is built up into a condition of sound
health. It purifies the blood, driving
out the poisons which breed and feed
disease.
"Have taken Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Dis
covery and it did me more good than attythlug I
could get," writes Mrs. Julio A. Wllcox, ofCygnet,
WoikI Co., Ohio, How,. ?I doctored with three
diii' niil doctors for weak heart, but they did
nie no good. I was so tired and discouraged if I
bad had my choice to live or die I would have
prefered to die. My husband heard of' Oolden

I took Hint nud the first half seemed to help me.
I took six bottles before I stopped. I am per
fectly well and am cooking for boarders (I have

truly say I think your medicine will do nil It Is
recommended to do, and more. It has been a
God-send to me. I will be willing to answer
any letters of inquiry that any one wishes me to.

you wish to.*'

"I had been tick for more than a year with
kidney trouble," writes Mm, I<ucy Hayter, of
Jacksboro, lack Co., Texas. "Several different
doctors treated me, but none did me any good.
One doctor said I never could be cured, that I
had Hrlght's Disease. I suffered nearly death
?t times: had spells the doctor called spasms.
Was bedfast most of the time for six months.
My mother begged me to try Dr. Pierce'* Golden
Medical Discovery. With but little hope I wrote
to Dr. Pierce and he said he coutd cure mt. I
began to take his 'Oolden Medical Discovery'
and although I had given up to die, I began to
Improve from the start, and by the time I had
taken twenty-two bottles I was entirely cured.
I thank Ood for the' Oolden Medical iMacovery.'

It thus appears that of the nine teen
lieutenant generals, C. S. A , but
soven still survive ; of the eighty-one
major geuera's, C. S. A., but fourteen
are atill in lifo ; while of the three
hundred and sixty-live brigadier gen
erals, C. 8. A., but seventy still re
main to gladden the hearts of their ad
miring countrymen. There are thus,
to tho best of my information, uin-jty
one 'Joufederalu goueral ollleers who
still linger on this side of the Dark
River, and who aro still able to com
municate valorous recollec tions of the
greatest of defensive wars.

TUR PHILIPPINE MEASURE.
The Coinuilssiouere Are (live?
Power Equal to the C/.ar of
Russia.
"Tho bill reported by the Philippine
committee is one of the most iniquitous
measures over presented to a Congress
of the United States," said Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, when a*kcd his I
opinion of the bill itself. 44 Hy tho
provisions of the hill a commission,
composed of three men, is given the
most absolute powers ovei the Filip
pinos and their lands. Tho edicts of
tho commission will become laws un
less they are negatively acted upon by
Congress, and even if Congress had the
lime it would bo impossible for it to
judge of these edicts at this distance,
8,000 miles away. These three men
can grant franchises to whom over
they see lit and require iu return for
the same such compensation or no
compensation as they choose. Phey
can lease land iu immense tract to
corporations at whatever rental they
desire. They can grant the privileges
of cutting timber to such corporations
as they may chooso to befriend and (n
such terms as they may be disposed to
make. It is ridiculous to say that the
Democrats aro opposing a step towards
tho self-government to which they be
lieve tho Filipinos arc entitled. Tho
Democrats are doing all in their power
to save the Filipinos from being de
livered to an oligarchy which enn sell
them, body nud soul, from whose ac
tions thoy have no redress, from a de
spotic govoruraonC in which thoy have
absolutely no voice.
44 A careful reading of the Philip
pine bill will cunvuico any intelligent
person that the Philippine commission,
should the bill become a law, would
have powers that arc today possessed
by no European ruler save, perhaps,
tho Russian C/.ir. There are in tho
Philippines millions of acres of rich
agricultural lands, more than there is
in the United .Slates west of the Mis
souri River, ami the other resources of
the islands arc beyond computation,
and so long as human nature remains
human natutc the delegation of such
plenipotentiary power to a commission
composed of a few favored individuals
is hound to result in corruption. It is
folly to plead the high character of the
present commission. Its members
may all be dead in a month. As a
general proposition, it is evident that
tho best men in the United States aro
not going to forsake their homes and
their business interests and go to the
Philippines to administer the affairs of
the islands. The men who seek these
positions will he the usual class of
place hunters who regularly besiege
the President for positions which carry
handsome salaries. The passage of
this hill will inevitably result in scan
dals from which the fair name of the
United States will suffer."
44 Uncle " Isom Gamble, an old no.
gro in Marlin, Texas, is a member of
Willis Ii. Lang Camp U. C. V., of that
city. He is a native of South Carolina
and says that when that State seceded
from tho Union, his master (now de
ceased,) who was Dr. 44 Joe " James,
told him he intended to go to tho war,
and asked his thon young clave if he
wished logo with him. He repliod :
*4 Yes, master, I will go with you and
stay till one or both of us aro killed."
All during the war Dr. 44 Joe " James
was a division surgeon, haviug enlisted
With the Fifteenth South Carolina.
Isom, his young slave, was his trusty
Borvaut during all that time, and re
turned home with him at the close.
44 Uncle " Isom says tho Confederate
cause is still a livo cause and is yet
dear to his heart.
According to statistics the climax in
the rush of immigration was reached
tho week ending May 4. In seven
days 258,120 immigrants came into
New York. This record exceeds by
far that of any provious similar period
and is not nearly equalled in the total
of some months.
Tho lato Senator John Sherman's
grave, on the Sherman lot in the
Mansfiold, (().) cemetery, will be mark
ed by a massive sarcophagus. It will
bo of Rhode Island granite, 18 by 18
feet at tho base, and will woigh thirty
tons.
